<h4>Abstract</h4>
<br>
<div>Cloud Computing is one of the latest hypes in the mainstream IT
world. Spatial Data Infrastructures (SDIs) with its classical
publish-find-bind paradigm have not been affected yet by this emerging
trend. This paper reviews this novel technology and tries to identify
the paradigm behind it. In particular, the scalability aspect for a
cloud enabled 52° North Open Source Web Processing Service is challenged
and proven in the exemplary Google Cloud. On this basis, future
direction for SDIs and the Cloud Computing paradigm are identified.</div></div></blockquote><br></div><div><br><div><div>On 2011-03-04, at 8:57 AM, Jens Fitzke wrote:</div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"><blockquote type="cite"><div>-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----<br>Hash: SHA1<br><br>Folks,<br><br>I got an opportunity (well on very short notice) for a presentation on Open<br>Source GIS stuff for the Cloud.
